Traffic Rules in Ibiza: Essential Navigation Insights

Traffic rules in Ibiza differ little from general European standards. Key requirements include:

Speed limit compliance:

  • Within populated areas: up to 50 km/h
  • Outside populated areas: up to 90 km/h
  • On highways: up to 120 km/h

Mobile phone restrictions: Using mobile phones while driving is prohibited, including while waiting for traffic lights or in traffic jams. Hands-free conversation only is permitted.

Safety requirements:

  • Driver and passengers must be buckled up
  • Children under 12 years old and under 135 cm tall can only be transported in age and height-appropriate car seats
  • Driving under the influence is strictly prohibited

Local traffic considerations: Police are quite loyal to auto-tourists, but the island has numerous cameras that record the slightest violations. Special attention is required near pedestrian crossings, as crossing on red lights is common practice among locals.

Fuel Stations and Parking: Practical Information

Fuel stations: Ibiza has sufficient gas stations, especially near major settlements. Important note: some stations operate only until 22:00, so it's better to refuel with a reserve.

Parking guidelines:

  • Free parking is available on small streets away from city centers
  • Parking areas marked with white lines are also free
  • No payment required on Sundays, holidays, weekdays after 22:00, and during siesta time
  • Paid parking zones are marked with blue lines, with ticket machines nearby
  • Maximum parking time is usually limited to 2-3 hours - watch for signs

What to See in Ibiza

Ibiza is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. Despite its modest territory size, there's plenty to see: ancient cultural monuments, churches and cathedrals, natural parks, wild beaches, grottos, and caves.

Popular locations include:

  1. Dalt Vila: The old town of Ibiza is listed as UNESCO World Heritage. Here you'll find the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Snows, Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Puig des Molins necropolis (7th century BC).
  2. Stonehenge Ibiza: This monument rises on a rocky shelf near Cala Codolar beach. It's a semicircle of 13 basalt columns, with the tallest ten-meter column topped with gold leaf. The paved road ends approximately 900 meters from the installation, so you'll need to park near the beach and walk about 10 minutes.
  3. Es Vedra: This 400-meter-high rock formation shaped like a dragon attracts tourists with its mystical beauty. Legend says Carthaginian general Hannibal was born here. After the Torre del Pirata sign, the road becomes unpaved, so park before the sign and take a short 600-meter walk.
  4. Ses Salines Natural Park: Known for salt lagoons and diverse bird species. Ses Salines is also a luxurious trendy beach where you might encounter world-class celebrities.
  5. Cala Comte: One of Ibiza's most picturesque beaches, surrounded by cliffs. Crystal-clear water, golden sand, and diving opportunities make this one of the best places for beach recreation.

Roads in Ibiza are excellent, so when choosing a rental car, base your decision on personal preferences and allocated budget.

Where to Rent a Car

Our service offers the choice of vehicle pickup location in Ibiza during booking. All available locations are listed in the "Pickup" menu, including Ibiza Airport, Puerto de Ibiza seaport, rental company office, or any point within city limits.

Different rental companies may have varying handover locations. Some deliver vehicles throughout the city, others come to the port, while others only provide cars from their office.

Car Rental Tips

Tourists who have already traveled around Ibiza in rental cars recommend thoroughly checking the vehicle upon pickup, avoiding unpaved roads, and resolving any sudden breakdowns through the rental company.

Vehicle inspection

Before signing the vehicle handover document, inspect it carefully. Pay attention to dents or scratches on the body, wear or holes in interior upholstery. Ensure all lights work properly. Note all observations in the inspection report to avoid misunderstandings when returning the car.

Paved road selection

Only visit places accessible by paved roads with your rental vehicle. Driving on unpaved roads is prohibited - insurance policies don't cover such terrain.

Breakdown procedures

While nobody expects a rental car to break down at an inconvenient moment, serious breakdowns are rare. However, flat tires or broken headlights are quite possible. In any case, you must notify the rental company and follow their instructions.

Hello! Yes. However, the closer the rental dates, the fewer available affordable options you have, so we recommend booking early.
